EDIT: This is the post I remembered reading from the ENT Blu-ray threat in the ENT forum. Posted by Scotty on July 29. No actual numbers, though, just an Amazon ranking.

Today's Amazon UK's Film and TV (DVD & BD) rankings are:

TNG S4 #116
ENT S2 #3,222

To be fair, today is the release day of TNG S4 and ENT S2 isn't out yet. So let's compare the other TNG releases with ENT S1 and we get this.

TNG S3 #3,173
ENT s1 #24,584

TNG S2 #6,025
TNG S1 #5,582

Again, no sales numbers but these rankings show that even the 5 year old release of TOS season 1 (# 20,191) is currently outselling ENT S1. All I'm saying is that it's very possible that some Paramount UK marketer looking at this chart might think it's a good idea to try something different pricewise.

I'm not that worried for this sale numbers. They are OK. Season 1 was a curiosity so almost every fan wanted to buy day one. Now that it is something normal these releases I think there is no urgency to buy day 1, so the 2-3 month period is much better indicator of the success than the day 1/week 1 sale figures.

I think the more concerning thing would be that they're difficult to find at local retailers on release day now. I went to a couple different Wal-Mart's looking for season four and they hadn't even received any after carrying seasons one, two and three. Plus people around here were having issues finding it at Target, my local one had ordered something like four copies for release day and I haven't seen it in stock since.

I can't speak for how they're selling but I did notice it was tougher to find season four on retailers shelves (in my area).

If you pre-order from Amazon, it tends to arrive on release day. And I've never received a delivery from them that wasn't in bubble wrap or a padded mailer.

I believe that only works if you have Amazon Prime or pay extra for the same-day delivery. I agree you're more likely to get a set in good condition through Amazon though as it seems in stores they're usually damaged by the security boxes they're placed in (especially at Target)

If you're talking DVDs/BDs, you are totally correct. Anything else? Total crap shoot. I fear the day when a book gets ruined because of Amazon not plastic wrapping it and delivering it during a rainy day in Florida.

I rewatched BOBW Part II yesterday. In the scene where Picard's face was turned white, it was originally accomplished by making the shot B&W, and adding in the red laser.

I see with the HD remaster, they don't remove the color from the shot. You can still see the color of the set. Picard's face is digitally turned white instead. Much better.

Nah, that's not true. You can clearly see the color still in the probe, the background, and on part of Locutus' costume. Of course, the whole thing is already muted far beyond the quality shown on the Blu-ray, but stilll...

So I was reviewing the Trek EAS TNG-R differences posts and I noticed it looks like the holo-grid in Hollow Pursuits was replaced with CG. The yellow is much more vibrant and the angle seems slightly different (granted that could be caused from a slight difference in the time-code the captures were taken).
